Social Links has played a pivotal role in my own personal research, including playing a crucial role in positively identifying a former recruiter of a terrorist organization, which ended up saving lives in the process. Social Links will assist researchcers, law enforcement and investigators in identifying hidden links that would have likely never been found otherwise, and for security investigations time is of the essence, so actionable intelligence is crucial in the quickest time possible. I absolutely recommend Social Links to anyone serious about investigative and intelligence work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SL Professional?
